I just tried that, but got the following:

230> User kruger logged in.
ftp> get filelist.txt
200 PORT command successful
425 Can't build data connection:  Connection refused

In my situation, it won't even allow me to do what you are doing.

Subject: [ale] FTP weirdness


I am experiencing a strange occurance with ftp connections through my linux
box with Windows Clients.  I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this...

Here is an extract from a login using the ftp client on a windows machine:

230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
425 Can't build data connection:  Connection refused
ftp>

The interesting thing is that this only occurs with Windows based clients.
For the linux based machines that route through this one server, the ftp
clients can connect and list directories just fine

Note - both Linux and windows ftp clients log in just fine.  Also, the
windows ftp clients log into the linux router just fine and can list the
directory.

Kernel version is v2.4.3

Anyone else had this problem?

Regards - Bob Kruger
